The story
What it's about
Filipe, a municipal architect known for his idealism and commitment to environmental causes, is the only person who can stop the construction of a luxury real estate development in a protected area. Maria Rodrigues, a young prosecutor, is pursuing a lead in a high-level financial corruption case. At the same time, the reopening of a closed case, in which she was the victim, forces her to confront the deep and painful trauma of a night that took place 15 years before. As she takes the investigation into her own hands, she struggles with the hazy memories of the rape and hit-and-run. Filipe is one of the main suspects, but was it really him?
